Customer Reviews
She’s the GOAT
There’s just no other way to describe Melrose. Queen business mommy. So so smart, so talented, and so DEDICATED to helping raise all ships. I LOVE her content and my happiness, fan satisfaction, and revenue has increased so much since I started taking her advice. Listen to this podcast 💕
Season two
So far season two is even better than season one! It’s not only a great tool for fellow sex workers but it’s also just really educational in general if you have friends or family that don’t understand why or what you do what you do with sex work. It really shows that it’s an occupation to be respected and understood rather than hidden and ashamed of. Thank you Melrose and Jessie!!!
